Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... no butt hurt here. As a matter of fact, my butt is just fine except for the occasional blast from time to time due to the massive amounts of BS on this forum in the past few months from various commie lovers and pearl clutchers such as yourself.

Furthermore, visions of grandeur don’t exist in my world as reality is the name of the game. Methinks you’ve spent entirely too much time in Nevada among the libtards and should prolly rub elbows with the real working men and women of America. Go find a binky and a safe space as the real American men and women will deal with the coming shiite-storm.

We may or may not let you know when it’s safe for you to come out and play.

You’re wrong.

I agree with Trump on all the spending he wants to rescind that got passed in the bill giving each person $600. That additional stuff was crap. Trump went with rescinding what he didn’t like instead of a veto - like Mitch to get something passed.

I disagree that an additional $1,400 is necessary.

Millions of Americans who have lost zero income since March 2020 surely don’t need it and what the economy needs is to be fully reopened, not extra “stimulus” and extra unnecesary debt. Small businesses need the most “stimulus” along with a reopened economy. Another $1,400 to be spent at all the giant retailers importing all the foreign/China made goods is not what the most people need and not what the economy most needs.

“ I disagree that an additional $1,400 is necessary.”

Yes, that’s exactly what I said. Trump wants that additional money sent to Americans. Mitch doesn’t. And you also don’t. QED - you disagree with Trump and you agree with Mitch.

You have the right to agree with Mitch against Trump on this issue. What you can’t do is to tell me you don’t disagree with Trump - even though you’re opposing his demand for $2k. You can’t tell me I’m wrong to say you’re taking Mitch’s side on this issue. You can’t tell not to believe my own lying eyes.

I think that one thing Republican voters can do is re-register from the Republican part to Independent or some other non-Dem, non-Rep party.

That, in my opinion, would shock the Repub party and begin the cleanout of their donner lists.

“Purdue and Loeffler took the cowardly route on the veto override. They didn’t vote.”

Purdue is in quarantine. I assume Loeffler is on the campaign trail, but the Atlanta-area media has been largely silent the past few days on her whereabouts.

Yes, better he drew a line in the sand and they overrode a veto than him caving. Sad, too many people on FR want to excuse Trump’s lack of backbone, caving on important issues, on any issues.

I think that Mitch is being told by his Democrat masters its okay to finally come out as what you are because we are about to assume total power and one party rule, you need no longer hide as a member of the fifth column in the GOP.

No politicians can be as utterly stupid as the RINO GOP leadership the last month and a half, they are trying to lose GA and the senate on purpose and devastate the Republican party in the process. Trump is trying to destroy them and the Democrats in the process.

You are quite correct but they are assuming that the base will be guilted and cajoled to vote for these sleaze bags. We have our own RINO regiments on FR who would vote for Joe Stalin if he had an R in front of his name. That is about to blow up in their faces with devastation to the GOP, possibly a death knell and worse damage to the country.

Sounds like you are no better than all of the other so-called conservatives that have abandoned President Trump. You are a loser who would stick with the globalist GOP and Democrat Socialists because Trump couldn’t defeat the deep state on his own. You must not have been aware of all of the accomplishments of the President against all odds. You are a defeatist who has given up on overcoming the cesspool in DC.

Oh No! I am/was a supporter of Trump but am dismayed at his sellout and his lame fight for reelection. People thinking there is some Hail Mary that will save Trump at the last moment are certifiable.

“If Donald Trump would start a third party I believe that millions of both Republicans and Democrats would join.”

Maybe we can leave and follow DJ Trump. If they pull this off and cheat him, I no longer want to live here. They can keep their $2,000.

This is how I heard it:

Pakistan: $15 million for “democracy programs” and $10 million for “gender programs” (page 1486).

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/12/21/billions-going-to-foreign-aid-in-spending-bill-gender-programs-in-pakistan-sri-lankan-ship-refurbishments/

It seems pretty open-ended.

Yeah, but then when you read on further, they say to promote Democracy and give women more opportunities to serve in business & politics. Now I can only operate on what I read, so hidden may include transgenders, but that will never happen in Pakistan. Probably won't even work for real women.

But hey, it's only money. /sarcasm

You are wrong that MY view had anything to do with agreeing with Mitch McConnell. I have no idea what his motive and reasoning is.

I know mine has zero to do with Trump personally.

I think the federal fisc is too much in debt already and rather than going more into debt for “stimulus” I, like Trump, think what the country needs most is to reopen the economy where ever it is closed.

But spending another $1,400 per person will mostly go to retail spending by the millions who will get it who have not lost jobs or income, means spending that will largely go to goods made in China. The global companies that dominate the stock market will like that, but it will have little to do with main street as long as the economy is closed as much as it is.
